About
A fish and chip restaurant and takeaway in Yeadon, opened in summer 1994 and run by the Chadwick family: brothers Andrew and James Chadwick are managing directors, with their daughters involved in day-to-day management. It takes its name from Billy Murgatroyd, the nineteenth-century mill owner whose Moorfield Mills stood on the site.
It operates as both a sit-down restaurant and a takeaway counter, the takeaway keeping longer hours. The business says its fish comes from renewable Icelandic waters and is delivered fresh to the kitchen, and puts its throughput at around 1,275 fish a day and 363 tonnes of potatoes a year. Some of its staff have worked there since opening. The Yorkshire Evening Post, in a guide to eating in LS19, called it "the undisputed, world-renowned titan of the area's culinary scene".
